Before and After Dumpster Jewelry Armoire

This post contains affiliate links.

This makeover is a true trash to treasure story... my friend found this petite little jewelry armoire in the dumpster at his apartment complex!

I am attempting to teach an old dog new tricks and have told him to let me know anytime he sees something good in the dumpster (it happens a lot where he lives)... he resists me... but I think I'm finally rubbing off on him. It really helped my cause too when we found boxes and boxes of stuff sitting outside the dumpster not too long ago. The boxes were full of nice, name brand clothes, unopened perfume and soaps, books, etc. Not sure what happened but someone left in a big hurry!

So anyway, he pulled this little cutie from a tragic fate all on his own... without even asking if I was interested!

He did NOT however dive deeper into the dumpster to see if the little drawers had just fallen out when it was tossed... he only grabbed what he could reach from the ground! Baby steps people!!! I will get him trained :o)

Then he decided that he would start the makeover process... whaaaattt??!!

I didn't get a before/right-out-of-the-dumpster picture but it was just cheap looking dark brown.

Thank you! I'm all about using what I have... I have so much stuff in my craft room I could do tons of projects without ever leaving my house... except for Modge Podge... I'm out of Modge Podge!! ha ha!!
